My Bead Soup partner, Carol Dillman, put together a gorgeous Bead Soup. Check out the sweet packaging!
Inside were several sterling beads, earwires, clasp, and a sweet starfish charm. She also included a delicate chain and a pile of accent beads. The colors are my favorites; blue and green!
And look at the fabulous lampwork bead she made!
And aren't these wire coils fabulous? I have always wanted to make my own after reading Kerry Bogert's book Totally Twisted, but never found the time.
And here is the bead soup I sent Carol. She works mainly in silver so I thought I would challenge her with Vintaj components. I sent along some chain, jump rings, a filligree piece, headpins, eyepins and my favorite clasp. And there's a lovely vintage limited stock stone from Vintaj as well.
For something different, I sent few vintage beads; lucite, crystals, and buttons, plus a wood bead from Pork Chop Show.
And after I had it almost packaged and ready to go, I decided to challenge Carol even more with some red agates, a peach pit, and ammonite fossil. I hope she still likes me after this....
I'm so excited about participating in my first Bead Soup Blog Hop, and I can't wait to see what everyone else makes! I hope you will come back on March 3rd for the reveal!

What beautiful beads you have to play with! I loved what I received as well. It's going to be exciting to see what everyone creates for this BSBP. I'm at www.charisdesignsjewelry.blogspot.com and would love for you to "visit"!
Both soups are wonderful. I'm very curious what one would do with a peach pit! I'd never have the creative where-with-all to put together your soup but my mind is whirling with ideas admiring all your ingredients! I think you've done an outstanding job in challenging your partner's creativity. (as well as mine!)
I can’t wait to see what you all do with your bead soups! Post photos as soon as you’re done creating!
First off, the soup you received is some of my favorite colors too! It's simply eye candy. I cannot wait to see what beauty(s) you transform them into.
The soup you sent is just as inspiring. I will admit that the buttons and vintage beads as well as the vintaj components are my favorite. Oh what fun she'll have playing with those goodies!!
